A TOOWOOMBA woman is not only having to come to terms with the fact that she might never walk again, but is having to process the loss of her unborn baby after a horror car crash in Murphy's Creek last week.

She was trapped in the car for about five hours and was airlifted to Brisbane in a critical condition.

Her fiance Matt Hamilton's sister, Emma Hamilton, decided to launch a GoFundMe page to help with the medical costs for Ellie's recovery, expected to take months, if not years, as well as making sure Matt could remain by Ellie's side at the Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital.

"She's stable, but is in the ICU at the moment," Ms Hamilton told The Chronicle.

"She had surgery on Monday and Tuesday and had more scheduled for yesterday.

"I can't believe what a fighter she is, given the circumstances."

Ms Hamilton said on the GoFundMe page Ellie had to fight for her life after the crash.

"With so much blood loss and her left leg being beyond fixable she's had it amputated," Ms Hamilton said.
